How much further will he slip?

This level of dominance over other players is actually quite unprecedented; what do you mean by "How much further will he slip?" ? Giving three examples of important, high-level tournaments where he earned first place and one where he got second hardly helps your argument. Also, his 8th place result is what most people would call an 'outlier'.

One thing's for sure. He loses way too many white games for a world champion. But since he's top 1 or top 2 even when his play is not on par with his CAPAbilities..
